How Castist Are You?

Recently, I read an article written by Chitraraj Upadhyay Bastola who comes across as a man with very narrow views. I dont know whether you guys will agree but heres the highlights;
चौविसै घण्टा जाँड रक्सीले मातेर लठ्ठ हुने कथित आदिबासी/जनजाति भनाउँदाहरुले नेपालको इतिहासमै नपढी त्यसलाई जाँडकै तालमा बङ्ग्याउने प्रयास गरेका छन् । (The ”Aadibasi’s” who drink for days want to rewrite the Nepali history without even knowing the history of Nepal.)
आफनो धर्म, संस्कृति, भाषा नभएका सधै अर्काको धर्म, भाषा, संस्कृति र भेषभुषा चोरेर पैचो लिएर बाँच्ने परजिवि नै मंगोल वर्ग हो ।  (The Mongols are people who have no real identity, as their religion, culture and language are all taken from others.)
राष्ट्रवादी हुँ भनेर हुङ्कार गर्ने मतवालीहरु आज भारत, सिंगापुर, बेलायतको भाडाका सिपाही बनेका छन् ।(The Matwali’s (Mongols) who call themselves Nationalists are working as civil servants in countries such as India, Singapore and the UK)
नेपालमा आएका मंगोल वर्गका पर्ुखाहरुले तिब्बतमा आफनै सन्तान माथि बलात्कार गर्ने, आफनै सन्तान मार्ने, चोरी डकैती गरेको कारण त्यहाँबाट भगाइएको थियो भन्ने कुरा इतिहासकारहरु बताउँछन् ।(Those Mongols who have come from Tibet are believed to have killed their own families, raped their ‘Santan’ and fled due to their actions)
I have given a weak attempt to translate the texts so please correct me if I am wrong. This is hmm, its angering but we as humans should not be angered by someones stupid remarks. Ask yourself how castist are you? This person of Bahun background has said this but I am sure many people of Mongol background have said as negative things as well so lets not be fuelled by hate. Many Mongols attack the Bahun population whenever the case of Why Nepal has not developed arises. Today I logged on to Sajha.com and went through few of its forums and even in there theres people of Newari caste arguing against other groups. Is this what New Nepal is? Where everyone wants their own state, everyone wants their own rights, now that to me isn’t a country.
Before, the whole caste issue was a bigger problem but with recent times things have progressed forward and we should work TOGETHER to make a better society since our actions today will result in how we educate the people of tommorow.

  1. Mongolians have really suffered ALOT from Bauns in the past !! why??? Beacaue the fact that we were too “Shojo” or uneducated..and that led the bauns to fool us by making the “RIN” 100 rupees to 1000 repees so that the greedy bauns can have the money. Also burning our history and making us forget our old traditions this leaves us the mark of strong prejudice towards BAUNS!!! This man clearly doesn’t know what he is sayin..oh of course! he is a baun and he hasn’t really experienced the fact that we dont know where we come from to be exact..?..also where is the evidence that we came from tibet..what a joke he is ?
    No matter how we try to say “Oh no we are not casist” from bauns or from mongolians ..we as a Human will always be…beacaue we are humans ?..duh?…but despite all dis we all must bring our differences aside and make a better NEPAL..and we must learn from that.

  2. I AM A MONGOL AND I AM NOT A CASTIST! HOWEVER I FEEL ANGRY OVER THE ACCUSATIONS..BAUNS HAVE DESTROYED OUR CULTURE AS WE DONT KNOW OUR OWN RELIGION, TURNING US INTO HINDUS…..
    I AM ANGRY TOWARDS THEIR RACE ON HOW THEY TREATED OUR ANCESTORS BUT THAT DOES’NT STOP ME FROM BEING FRIENDS WITH THEM..DO YOU WANT TO KNOW WHY THERE ARE LOADS OF MONGOLIAN PEOPLE WHO ARE GURKHAS BUT NOT BAUNS BECAUSE THEY WERE TOO SCARED AND SENT US TO DIE INSTEAD..
    DO YOU SEE MUCH MONGOLIAN PEOPLE WORKING ON CINEMAS….? DO YOU SEE LOADS OF MONGOLIAN POLITICIANS? NO

    I HAVE LOADS OF BAUN FRIENDS AND DO MIX BUT WHAT THEIR ANCESTORS DID TO OURS IS UNFORGIVAVBLE
    AND AT THE CORNER OF MY MIND AND MY HEART THAT ALWAYS TELLS ME NOT TO TRUST THEM

    FUNNY THING IS IT STILL EXISTS TODAY..OVERALL, I THINK SOME OF THEM STILL DO IT TO US..!!(SORRY FOR WRITING A MAHABHARAT STORY)

    STRONGLY AGREE WITH THE FIRST COMMENT!!

  3. We matwalis are not castist. we dont mistreat them because of their race although we have strong prejeduces.

    WE ARE THE VICTIM OF CASTISM HERE
    why are they attacking us when we are the ones who have strongly suffered..dyam

    the man who stated this clearly is uneducated, pathetic, drunk, unreliable and other things..how dare he make a statement like that…i bet hes the one who killed his own santan!!! what a dirty thinking man!
    we can never do that to our own faimily!

  4. “no real identity”

    haah, it’s funny really.. they’re EXACTLY like dhotis.. from clothes to culture.

    yet they have the nerve to call us “without identity”?

    & we are NOT Tibetans.. we merely share the same ancestors..

    you bastards came from India and took over Nepal.. yeah that country which belongs to NEWARIS.

    as for the “Aadibasi” thing.. hahah.. ‘Matwali’ translates to ‘liquor drinkers’ && what the fuck do you know about the history of Nepal? you came CENTURIES after the land was occupied.

    honestly, i’m glad my dad joined the Gurkhas.. even if we are living as “civil servants” at least we don’t have to answer to your ugly face every again & we probably get less racist remarks from white people than castism from you so-called ‘Aryans’.
